Lady Gaga inspired me this week. I'm quoting from a great article by Emma Young.
In a recent interview she said: ''I'm not a feminist - I hail men, I love men. I celebrate American male culture, and beer, and bars and muscle cars.''
In another interview, she equated feminism with man-hating. ''I think it's great to be a sexy, beautiful woman who can f--- her man after she makes him dinner. There's a stigma around feminism that's a little bit man-hating. And I don't promote hatred, ever.'
I agree Ms Gaga. (With your second-to-last sentence at least.) I just spent an hour trying to think of a name for this blogsite that would explain quite literally that I was trying to rebrand feminism but would avoid using that word. Couldn't do it.
Equalitist. Une femme forte. Agent non-provocateur. Mmmm. Not there yet.
